:01:34. > :01:37.You are going to get falls, that is for sure.
:01:38. > :01:41.And when you do fall, it is how bad it is afterwards.
:01:42. > :01:43.I got away with it a few times and unfortunately,
:01:44. > :01:54.So, how are you coping with learning to adapt to a new way of living?
:01:55. > :01:56.You get good days and you get bad days, obviously.
:01:57. > :02:02.A lot of downs at the moment, but you have got to fight

:02:48. > :02:51.a couple of lads watched the race again and they said
:02:52. > :02:54.to me that I was very lucky to actually be
:02:55. > :02:57.here because it was apparently a horrible fall.
:02:58. > :02:59.I can't... I have not seen it...
:03:00. > :03:05.I was there, there is no point in looking at it again.
:03:06. > :03:08.So I'm going to say in some ways, I'm lucky to be here.
:03:09. > :03:11.You do seem incredibly positive, in the time I've spent
:03:12. > :03:17.I got a lot of friends and the racing community
:03:18. > :03:24.has been tremendous, tremendously helpful to me.
:03:25. > :03:26.And a lot of lads drop in on their way back
:03:27. > :03:29.from Kempton or Lingfield, and put me in the car and we go

:03:59. > :04:04.Once you start with it, you just can't stop.
:04:05. > :04:08.Do you think there is a chance you could ride again?
:04:09. > :04:09.For sure. Most definitely.
:04:10. > :04:12.I am going to have a riding lesson next Wednesday...
:04:13. > :04:16.So you really are getting straight back on the horse?
:04:17. > :04:23.Obviously, it's not going to be a racehorse,
:04:24. > :04:27.But, look, as I said, life goes on and you have got
:04:28. > :04:31.to make the most of it and roll on next Wednesday.
:04:32. > :04:34.In other news, police say that five people have now been arrested
:04:35. > :04:36.on suspicion of the murder of a 17-year-old boy
:04:37. > :04:40.Liam Hunt was stabbed in St George's Street.
:04:41. > :04:46.All those arrested are teenagers between 16 and 19 years old.
:04:47. > :04:49.A liar and an actor who preyed on his wealthy fiance
:04:50. > :04:54.That's how prosecutors described Ian Stewart today
:04:55. > :04:57.in their closing speeches to the Helen Bailey murder trial.
:04:58. > :05:00.The body of 51-year-old children's author Helen Bailey was found
:05:01. > :05:06.After nearly six weeks of evidence, the trial is coming to an end,
:05:07. > :05:20.the prosecution told the jury the killing of Helen Bailey, the
:05:21. > :05:25.planning that went into it, and the disposal of her body were wicked
:05:26. > :05:30.actions. They claim Ian Stewart, who met her online, have been preying on
:05:31. > :05:35.the Hertfordshire author to win his way into her favour and later into
:05:36. > :05:40.her well. Helen Bailey's body was found in a cesspit under her home in
:05:41. > :05:46.Royston three months after she vanished in April. Ian Stewart told
:05:47. > :05:51.police she left a note saying she needed time and space and have gone
:05:52. > :06:01.to the Broadstairs. He then changed his story, saying his partner had
:06:02. > :06:05.been kidnapped by two mystery men. The prosecution counsel called the
:06:06. > :06:10.story absurd. Why would they choose to bring the uninjured, drug body of
:06:11. > :06:15.Helen Bailey to that spot? The Crown say that the defendant's evident on
:06:16. > :06:24.its own, any rational consideration of it say that he's guilty. The
:06:25. > :06:27.defendant's counsel asked what cause a mild mannered loving family man to
:06:28. > :06:32.suddenly decide to kill Helen Bailey. It made no sense, it is
:06:33. > :06:37.rubbish. Responding to the prosecution case that Ian Stewart
:06:38. > :06:42.killed his fiancee for her fortune, he replied he was in poor, he wasn't
:06:43. > :06:52.short of funds, he didn't need any more money. The prosecution -- he
:06:53. > :06:57.told Helen and Ian Stewart were in love and they were happy and
:06:58. > :07:00.contented. Ian Stewart denies all charges. The case is nearly at its
:07:01. > :07:03.end. Closing speeches are tomorrow. More than 100 people are expected
:07:04. > :07:06.to gather in the centre of Cambridge tonight to show their support
:07:07. > :07:09.for the city's rough sleepers. It's in response to a video
:07:10. > :07:12.that was posted online reportedly showing a student burning a ?20 note
:07:13. > :07:15.in front of a homeless man. The incident attracted
:07:16. > :07:17.widespread condemnation. Mousumi Bakshi is in
:07:18. > :07:33.the city centre now. The name of the student was splashed
:07:34. > :07:38.across several newspapers. He was ousted from his Conservative Party
:07:39. > :07:43.Association and around 23,000 people have called on Cambridge University
:07:44. > :07:49.to expel him. In the wake of the incident, there were concerns that
:07:50. > :07:53.students may face a backlash. Tonight, around 100 students will be
:07:54. > :08:02.handing out free hot meals and drinks to the city's roughly those.
:08:03. > :08:06.One of the beneficiaries will be Jimmy's Night Shelter. Barry, in a
:08:07. > :08:10.perverse way, your charity has benefited from the incident? One
:08:11. > :08:19.thing that positive action is showing is that we are a benefactor
:08:20. > :08:31.and we are very proud to be associated with this and very
:08:32. > :08:34.generous of the individuals. Individual -- donations come to
:08:35. > :08:39.about ?10,000 and we have to look at use it for people the street. Some
:08:40. > :08:45.people would be surprised to learn that homelessness is a problem here.
:08:46. > :08:49.How bad is it? The visible end has gone up across all cities in the
:08:50. > :08:53.country, not just Cambridge. But one of the positive things to come out
:08:54. > :08:58.of an unfortunate incident is that positive thought is now having an
:08:59. > :09:04.affirmative action to it. The student bodies should be praised.
:09:05. > :09:09.Thank you very much for joining us. Students will be out from around 70
:09:10. > :09:13.M until 9pm, any extra money raised will go to the city's homeless. --
:09:14. > :09:16.around 7pm. Next - how sport can keep your mind
:09:17. > :09:19.healthy as well as your body. For the last few months,
:09:20. > :09:22.patients at a mental health unit in Milton Keynes have been playing
:09:23. > :09:24.football - sometimes And organisers say it's
:09:25. > :09:27.working - the activity has James Burridge joined the team
:09:28. > :09:31.from the Campbell Centre Strangers who are suffering
:09:32. > :09:36.in silence, now a team 53-year-old Robin has been
:09:37. > :09:42.suffering for too long. Battling depression
:09:43. > :09:46.for over 40 years. Not wanting to get out of bed,
:09:47. > :09:53.overeating, just being very, very... Basically wanting to
:09:54. > :10:00.jump off Beachy Head. Around 11,000 people suffer
:10:01. > :10:03.with some sort of mental health illness here in Milton Keynes
:10:04. > :10:06.and yet it is widely accepted there is a lack of provision
:10:07. > :10:09.for those who suffer. This three-year programme,
:10:10. > :10:14.which started in September, costs just ?50,000 and is having
:10:15. > :10:21.a profound impact. Taking in-patients from
:10:22. > :10:23.the ward to the pitch. I have noticed that there
:10:24. > :10:26.is a massive gap for So I took it upon myself to really
:10:27. > :10:32.bring these people along to try something in the community
:10:33. > :10:35.because there is a lot of help whilst they are in crisis
:10:36. > :10:38.and while they are in hospital and they are protected there,
:10:39. > :10:42.but as soon as they have got to try and do things by themselves,
:10:43. > :10:45.they don't really know where to go. So it is creating
:10:46. > :10:46.something for them. When our players play football,
:10:47. > :10:49.they play for MK Dons in the kit and colours as you have seen today
:10:50. > :11:00.and they go out of represent us Mat macro they go out and represent
:11:01. > :11:04.us. If I was just a regular grass-roots
:11:05. > :11:10.player, if I had my time again, I would love to put that kit
:11:11. > :11:13.on and play for the Dons. But we can make that
:11:14. > :11:16.happen for these guys. Robin, have you ever
:11:17. > :11:19.thought what life would be like if you didn't have football
:11:20. > :11:21.as an outlet? It would not be a good place
:11:22. > :11:25.to be at all, really, It's a whole team sport,
:11:26. > :11:28.the whole team environment and also as I said before,
:11:29. > :11:31.it improves your health A complicated illness
:11:32. > :11:33.but a simple game. No pills, no counselling,
:11:34. > :11:36.just a ball, some mates Well, mental health researchers have
:11:37. > :11:41.long recommended exercise I spoke to Marguerite Reegan
:11:42. > :11:46.from the Mental Health Foundation and asked why getting moving
:11:47. > :11:51.helps our mood. It has been proven to reduce
:11:52. > :11:53.stress and anxiety. It reduces the number of days people
:11:54. > :11:58.have to take off work sick. It helps with sleep and it is has
:11:59. > :12:02.also been proven to be a great treatment either alongside
:12:03. > :12:06.pharmaceutical methods or as a replacement and it doesn't
:12:07. > :12:09.have any of the negative So it is really, really useful both
:12:10. > :12:14.for prevention and promotion of mental health but also
:12:15. > :12:19.for treatment of mental problems. And does it matter what kind
:12:20. > :12:22.of sport you are doing? A team sport like football
:12:23. > :12:24.or individual things like yoga No, all physical
:12:25. > :12:29.activity is beneficial. If it is in groups, in team sports,
:12:30. > :12:32.it has the added benefit of helping with loneliness for the general
:12:33. > :12:36.population and social isolation for people who live
:12:37. > :12:39.with mental health problems, which is often a key
:12:40. > :12:41.factor for them. And what about doing
:12:42. > :12:43.something like football, where you are learning
:12:44. > :12:45.a skill as well? Does that kind of thing train
:12:46. > :12:48.the brain and help in other ways? Well, there is the part
:12:49. > :12:53.about being part of the community and part of a team, so the social
:12:54. > :12:56.aspects, but also the skills It improves memory and it is
:12:57. > :13:00.a protective factor for memory loss and it makes people achieve better
:13:01. > :13:03.in school and in jobs. In Milton Keynes, they have invested
:13:04. > :13:09.quite heavily in this in partnership Why should they make the effort
:13:10. > :13:16.to invest in this kind of thing? It is effective as treatment
:13:17. > :13:19.and effective for prevention. It's cost-effective,
:13:20. > :13:22.it is very accessible and sport has the added bonus that there is no
:13:23. > :13:25.stigma attached to taking part, whether you are doing it
:13:26. > :13:29.for your mental health It also is a great way to target
:13:30. > :13:34.groups who will not necessarily talk Men are a key demographic
:13:35. > :13:38.that it is very, very It's a great way to move things out
:13:39. > :13:43.of just the health system and get communities involved and remove
:13:44. > :13:44.the stigma and continue A new UK base for the airline
:13:45. > :13:50.Wizzair will create 36 The budget airline will open three
:13:51. > :13:54.new routes from the airport in June, flying to Israel,
:13:55. > :13:56.Kosovo and Georgia. In total, the airline will operate
:13:57. > :14:00.42 routes out of Luton. Last year, the airline carried more
:14:01. > :14:03.than five million passengers. This year it will have over

:15:01. > :15:04.Honington in Suffolk when he was badly injured
:15:05. > :15:06.in a motorbike accident. Now he's in training with four
:15:07. > :15:08.other former servicemen and they've even put
:15:09. > :15:25.together their own My name is Warren McKinlay, I am 35
:15:26. > :15:36.years old. I was in the Royal Electrical engineers and I suffered
:15:37. > :15:42.a brain injury. The team Brit car down the inside. Nicely done. Team
:15:43. > :16:03.Brit stands for British racing injured troops.
:16:04. > :16:05.We spoke to Warren McKinlay and his wife Sarah, and asked
:16:06. > :16:08.what it meant to Warren to be part of this team
:16:09. > :16:21.First of all, it's a fantastic opportunity I have been offered to
:16:22. > :16:29.be part of this journey. It is a mammoth task. But the distance we
:16:30. > :16:38.have travelled six months ago, I now can see is a fully achievable goal.
:16:39. > :16:43.Sarah, how nervous are you that he is going to be going round a track
:16:44. > :16:47.at high speeds? I am nervous about it especially after his accident,
:16:48. > :16:52.but I am fully behind him and looking forward to going to the
:16:53. > :16:58.races and watching him. Warren, it is an extraordinary journey you have
:16:59. > :17:04.been on since your accident 11 years ago, because for a time you felt
:17:05. > :17:12.like you were not alive. Yes. As strange as it sounds for either need
:17:13. > :17:18.to say it now, at my time in Headley Court and for about 18 months, I did
:17:19. > :17:25.believe that I had died in the accident and everything that
:17:26. > :17:30.happened to me was some kind of afterlife. We know about his
:17:31. > :17:37.problems, but you have had to live with those, how has that been for
:17:38. > :17:41.you? It has been really hard. The children have gone through the
:17:42. > :17:46.journey with us as well, but we have all stuck together and worked at it.
:17:47. > :17:50.This is the next step in his recovery with his racing. Sarah,
:17:51. > :17:55.have you noticed the change in Warren since he has got involved in
:17:56. > :18:01.motorsport? Has it been obvious to you the impact it has had? It has,
:18:02. > :18:08.it has given him his strive back again and given him his motivation,
:18:09. > :18:13.going out and having a day on a track. He is buzzing from it. One of
:18:14. > :18:19.the problems you have had is you have had trouble concentrating and
:18:20. > :18:25.focusing and yet the one thing you have to do in a car is concentrate
:18:26. > :18:31.and focus, so how do you adapt? Since my accident, one way I dumped
:18:32. > :18:36.with these is to take myself away from the situation, one of the
:18:37. > :18:43.things that helped me was driving. I would drive and be on my own, it was
:18:44. > :18:48.one skill I never lost. When I put the race helmet on and get into the
:18:49. > :18:55.racing car, I really do wish I could work out how I can focus so much on
:18:56. > :19:02.one single task and feed it into other aspects of my life. We wish
:19:03. > :19:04.you all the very best of luck in the run-up to Le Mans and good luck to
:19:05. > :19:07.you, Sarah, watching. She's 34, married
:19:08. > :19:11.and a mother of two. She's also Britain's
:19:12. > :19:15.strongest woman. That's remarkable enough,
:19:16. > :19:17.but it gets better. She has only been training for two
:19:18. > :19:21.years and now she's about to go to America to take part
:19:22. > :19:37.in the competition to become Breakfast time in the Thompson
:19:38. > :19:43.household. Close to competition time, Andrea needs about 3500
:19:44. > :19:47.calories a day so while the children are having cereal, Andrea Downes a
:19:48. > :19:53.fruit and vegetable smoothly plus a mushroom and spinach omelette.
:19:54. > :19:59.Without it you would not lift anything? No, I get tired, I cannot
:20:00. > :20:05.perform in the gym, I get frustrated and end up having a bad day. I was
:20:06. > :20:10.hoping the spinach might give me muscles like Popeye but it is hard
:20:11. > :20:15.to compete with biceps like this. Andrea has only been in the sport
:20:16. > :20:21.for two years, she wanted to get fit for her sister's wedding, went to
:20:22. > :20:28.the gym and soon got the bug for weightlifting. Andrea trains four or
:20:29. > :20:33.five times a week. How good is she? Very good. The day she came in it
:20:34. > :20:37.was obvious she had great potential and over the years we have developed
:20:38. > :20:46.that and she is starting to realise that now. Andrea builds up her
:20:47. > :20:52.sessions smoothly. Here squat lifting 180 kilos or just over 28
:20:53. > :21:01.stone. It is tough and as Britain's strongest woman, Andrea is up to the
:21:02. > :21:07.task. Come on! Andrea is competing at the Arnold sports festival in
:21:08. > :21:13.America next month where she will compete against the world's's best.
:21:14. > :21:19.I am hoping to do better than I did last. I came last year. I would love
:21:20. > :21:27.to win but my next step is just to do better than I did. Frankly I was
:21:28. > :21:39.get it -- script getting a sweat on just watching. 250 kilos, 39 stone
:21:40. > :21:45.and it looked like my idea of hell. I do care at times how hard she gets
:21:46. > :21:53.pushed. She needs to push if she needs to reach the top. You have to
:21:54. > :22:00.admire Andrea's strength and determination. She has, a long way
:22:01. > :22:02.in a short time and who is to say Britain's strongest woman cannot one
:22:03. > :22:13.day be the world's's strongest woman. The trainer has the easier
:22:14. > :22:20.job! She is amazing! That looks painful! If you have tried to build
:22:21. > :22:26.a model out of Lego you know how fiddly it can be. I spent a whole
:22:27. > :22:32.Christmas doing a dolphin cruiser once for my daughter. Imagine trying
:22:33. > :22:38.to do it with more than a million pieces. That is the challenge the
:22:39. > :22:41.Great Fen project has taken on. It is a model of the Cambridgeshire
:22:42. > :22:45.wetland and this half term they need your help.
